family ties..

So my uncle has arrived only half an hour after my other uncle came for a visit. Now we have a full house with my parents and I, my uncle and his son, and my other uncle and his two daughters, whom I haven’t seen in years. But after a quick visit I had to take off to meet alicia in peterborough. I felt kind of bad but it just came down to bad timing and at least I got to see them, although it was brief. The girls got so big! I couldn’t believe it… but they were still really shy with us and barely said a word. Nikki was as smiley as I remembered her and I caught them both staring at me a few times.. I wish we had longer to hang out, just us girls. Anyways, I drove over to ptbo and met alicia at her apt. god I’m jealous, it’s way nicer than mine!! It’s a one bedroom, has a great bathroom, and brick walls on two sides with tall ceilings. It’s just the right amount of space for two ppl (or even just one), has great wood floors with a small section of carpet in the living room area. All in all, a great apt.. I told her I was envious, and described my tiny dwelling. Oh well, one day things will be different. So we just sat around and talked for at least a couple of hours, mike came by for a few minutes and then left again, we grabbed some mcdonalds and then went over to aaron and dan’s apt for a while.. And then went downtown to see if a certain restaurant was open. It wasn’t so we went back to her apt and just chilled and talked some more. I guess we were thinking of watching a movie and had the tv on, but there was so much to talk about. She’s one of those friends that you can just not see for a year, and then as soon as you get back together, it’s like nothing has changed. we both acknowledge that and I love it. I always say that I’m gonna call her more, or e-mail more.. But I plan to hold true to that this time. It’ll be one of my resolutions, like calling g-ma more often. Eep, I have to get up in about 3 hours so I should probably get to bed. I have a full day ahead of me tomorrow – dad and I will drop mom off, get breaky, drive to guelph, take me shopping and hopefully he’ll be on his way so that I can get a bit of rest before I have to go to work at 5pm. At work I need to stealthily avoid a date with mikee because I just don’t have time for that right now! Also, I need to switch shifts with somebody (but not kori!!) so that I can go to pool on Tuesday. I haven’t been in two weeks, I think that my team probably hates me! I’m so unreliable and I hate myself for it… I really just have no backbone so I find it difficult to go up there and actually tell them that I can’t make it that night. Oh well.. Maybe I can turn that into another resolution – have a spine!

peace, k
